    Fallout TV series being developed by Amazon

    I agree thinking about, Thaddeus was also an immature/man-baby, even Titus was a bit of a loser in reality (all bravado and aggro due to being a knight and having a suit). They are products of their environments.

    What film did you watch last night?

    Baghead A similar take to Talk To Me, but not anywhere as good. 4/10 Suzume I will forever hold every anime film against the standard that Your Name set, making Suzume an ok watch. Story is fine, what happens to Souta is funny, but it lacked the emotional gut punch from Your Name. I will...

    Fallout TV series being developed by Amazon

    8/10 for me. Only played 3 and 4. Wife really enjoyed it and knows nothing of the games. Maximus as a character was the weakest point for me, everyone else was great imo. Roll on S2!

    What film did you watch last night?

    Not when someone who is a "baddie" is doing it. Bad things being shown as bad in media doesn't generally cause any issue from what I've seen.

    What film did you watch last night?

    Why would a bad guy saying bad things upset people?

    What film did you watch last night?

    Nope I thought it was fun, didn't expect the concept to go the way it did, and I like it when that happens. 6/10 The Menu Really enjoyed this, was great watching it all unfold, and surprisngly funny at a few points. 8/10 One Piece: Red At first I was "WTF, is this a musical?", then later it...

    Music too loud in TV and films

    It's a bunch of things, actors mumbling, everything being mixed for high dynamic range, and downmixing to stereo being crap in general.

    British Airways business class seating sucks on the A380

    Weird, I flew to Miami a month ago in the top-deck economy section and thought it was ace, WAY better than the horrid flight back on a 747.

    £25 a week extra on my state pension

    25p in 1971 would be just over £3 now if adjusted, so £150ish a year, laughable it's still a thing, I would have thought the admin costs are more than the actual benefit.

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    Yeesh, save yourself a bundle and get a heated underblanket for bed, and heated throw for the sofa, saved us a butt-tonne in gas costs over winter.

    LG OLED 2023 Thread - A3, B3, C3, G3

    Finally got 42" C3 for the bedroom (cracking £765 deal from Costco), and man is this thing gorgeous! I wonder if my wife will start to notice the difference between it and the decent, if bog-standard, and cheaper 65" Philips we have in the lounge and push for an upgrade xD

    LG C3 + Plex Server + Remux

    I just got a new 42" C3 set up in the bedroom, and zero issues with 4k HDR content using the WebOS Plex app, 5Ghz wifi, and my little Unraid box as the Plex media server (Ryzen 3600 & 16GB DDR4)

    Reddit is dying

    Nah, the subreddits I follow are decent, just every now and then some crappy ones get suggested in the general feed.

    Over-rated / terrible movies?

    YESSSSS, so over-hyped that I actually forgot about it, that is how meh it was to me. Worse than even the recent Mario movie in terms of over-hypedness.

    How old is your smartphone?

    Recently sold my 3.5 year old Poco F2 Pro and got a new Poco F5 Pro, costing £200 after selling my old phone. Hope to get another 3 years out of this one :)

    Thinking of moving to Cyprus

    Some good points there, apart from the laughable spinkling of woke being a contributing factor in the UK's downfall.
